Monthly
'Zaikai Nippon' (April 2012), in its 'Series: Japan's Human Rights' printed an
article on a report compiled by an international human rights NGO based in
Europe, following its investigation over Japan's abduction, confinement and
forced deconversion.

The
article, written by Chu Murou, a journalist specialized in religious affaris,
is entitled "Finally an international human rights group investigated
Japan's abduction and confinement for the purpose of forced deconversion -
Human Rights Without Frontiers International (HRWF) reported detailed situations;
Now available online". It
introduces HRWF, reports about how the investigation was initiated as well as
its interviewing methods applied by its director Willy Fautre.

The article said: "The report entitled 'Japan: Abduction and Deprivation
of Freedom for the Purpose of Religious De-conversion' has overwhelming quality and quantity, comparable with its earlier report
on North Korea, which was submitted to the Universal Periodical Review (UPR) at
the United Nations Human Rights Council,
indicating the importance attached to Japan's religious kidnapping and
confinenemt problems. " The article evaluated the investigative methods
used by Director Willy Fautre and said: "His investigative methods were
very professionally applied to his interviews with all the available abduction
victims." It appreciated his ways of questioning: "It looked like he
was throwing marginal questions, but by analyzing their reactions and answers,
he swiftly assessed their personality, credibility and issues emerging from their
testimonies."

The article argues about the report's significance as
follows: "An American human rights organization which had been nominated
for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, American Enterprize Institute for Public
Policy Research (AEI), issued a statement on January 2010 to the Japanese
government, the Diet, prosecutors, police and human rights organizations,
demanding immediate actions to halt the kidnapping and confinement. With the
latest report from the European body, West's authoritative human rights
organizations voiced together their concern and regrets about the forced
de-conversion taking place in Japan."
